A review by aoosterwyk
The Boundless by Kenneth Oppel

3.0

There is something magical about Kenneth Oppel books. For some reason they stick in your mind and you find yourself back in the book. I also love his pairings of cool girls with "getting a clue" boys. They are so sympathetic.
Oppel takes us on a steampunk trip through Canada on an immense train which passes through the untamed wilderness, encountering creatures of myth and Native Americans hunting bison.
A circus on board and a class structure reminiscent of the Titanic adds interest and suspense.
A proposed high speed train connecting China to Canada adds relevance.
